BIRDS TEMPORARILY OFF EXHIBIT

The Sacramento Zoo is committed to the health and safety of every animal in our care. As a part of our ongoing efforts to keep our animals safe, we carefully monitor and track the occurrence of disease outbreaks, like avian influenza (or the “bird flu”), that may be a safety concern for the zoo’s animals.

We are working with our veterinary partners from the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine to implement safety protocols for the birds under our care. Due to the potential avian influenza risk to birds, we are taking a variety of precautionary measures and have activated a comprehensive avian influenza disease prevention plan, which includes the placement of tarp covers or netting over some aviaries, and movement of most of our bird species to more protected areas of the zoo off exhibit. We know that our birds are a favorite of many zoo visitors. Thank you for your patience as we work to protect these amazing animals from the risk of infection.
